So I'll put all of that in thedescription and in the comments.
(03:38):
And then we're going to do ourquiz. So everybody, we want you
to jump in and participate inour quiz with us. Okay,
excellent. Make up this quiz.
And we're gonna see what we knowabout moms and sleep other than
we don't get enough. Okay. Um,kids, and that they don't sleep
(04:00):
enough. We know that. Soaccording to the American
Academy of Pediatrics, how manyhours of sleep do we think that
kids should get? And there's thetwo categories of like, school
aged kids six to 12 and teens.
13 to 18. So give me your guestsand Okay, comments how many
(04:23):
hours of sleep? Suzanne said 10.
Bethany (04:27):
I said I'm thinking and also this is so embarrassing,
because you know, I'm aparenting. I'm a mom of two
boys. I should be like, I shouldknow this. But like, I'm not
100% Sure I would. I think Imight guess 10 as well.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (04:40):
You guessed 10 Okay, um, for ages
six to 12 they recommend nine to12 hours.
Bethany (04:48):
I wish my kids slept 12 hours.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (04:51):
And teens, eight to 10 hours. All
right.
Bethany (04:56):
Yeah. They do a lot of that growing overnight right?
like they need that sleep.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (05:02):
The growing the brain developing all
of that overnight. And it's sofunny because my we were just
talking about this before wewent live, my kids are so
overscheduled right now. Butlike with the baseball and the
dance recitals in the afterschool that they're getting to
sleep later and later and I cantell they are grumpy.
Bethany (05:19):
But do you find like that they're worn out because my
kid is very active to my olderson, he does baseball, he does
all this, but he's still notable to like wind down. I'm
like, How much do I have to run?
You? Try to like, get go tosleep. But can you just imagine
for a second? Jen, if your kidsactually slept 12 hours
straight? Like,
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (05:41):
let's just be honest, that's half the
day. Um, we don't need 12 hoursof sleep. So that will give us
quite a few hours. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, I would like that verymuch. Well, my daughter is is
kind of like that. So I wonder.
My daughter never will say she'stired, never has in her life
said she's tired. Always hasmore energy than me. But she
(06:06):
basically like will just scream.
I'm not tired. I'm not going tobed until she does literally
pass out.
Bethany (06:13):
She just collapses.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (06:16):
So there's hope that at least the
kid will collapse? Okay. I'vegot this is my favorite question
of the evening. Okay, you guysweigh in? Who, according to
experts, needs more sleep, menor women? What do you all think
in the comments?
Bethany (06:36):
That's so funny. I mean, I don't know what the
experts say. But I can tell youwho gets more sleep in my house.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (06:45):
Right.
Yeah, I think that, whether it'sa biological thing, because you
know, we have to, like, growhumans. So there's that and
like, just having a body that'sready at any moment to grow
humans. And then it's donegrowing humans and then like,
recovering from that. All of allof the very productive stuff.
(07:05):
That's like, that's enough. Allof the hormones Suzanne Brooks
is saying women of course. Um,but I think that even if that
weren't a factor, and we'regoing to look at the answer in a
minute, I think just like thewhole, the carrying of all the
things the mental load, as theycall it, is gonna make us need
more sleep.
Bethany (07:26):
Absolutely. That is so exhausting, that that I would
definitely say I mean, I mean,for me, this is like a no
brainer. Like, I'm so curious.
If the answer is sort of like itopposite of what we're thinking,
I really want to know who theseexperts are.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (07:42):
Right they're fired. They're basically
fired from being sleep experts.
Okay, so this is according toresearchers at the Loughborough
University UK based sleepresearch center. And they found
that women do use their brainsmore than men. All right, that
that tracks, so much so thatthey do require more sleep.
Bethany (08:05):
All right, good job, guys, That was.
No, I can't. I can only see us.
Let me see.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (08:06):
Right here. It's in black and white
guys. So if you need me to sendthis with no annotations to your
significant other, right, I'm sohappy to do so. Okay, I just
wanted to quickly see if I couldshow you all some of my, my Cozy
New tab. Oh, maybe? I don'tknow. Oh, see? You see, this is
Earth things. Let's say, here'show I do that. Do you know I can
(08:31):
share a tab? It's like we're ona zoom. I love that. You guys
see? Okay, these are just someof the amazing things that they
have for women. And this is whatI want. Can you see it on your
screen? Bethany?
(09:00):
why women also need more sleepbecause we have our brains have
to do a lot of things right now.
There you go. My brain did thatthing. Okay, so I'm just gonna
hide Bethany for one second tomake this bigger. And you can
see this is the women's section.
They've got stuff for women,they've got stuff for men, they
have bedding, they have bath.
Everything is so incrediblysoft. And you can use my code
(09:24):
MomCaveTV to get your credit.
But wait, I want to just showeveryone very quickly. The
thing? Where did they go?
There's this lounge pants. Imean, look at these, like you
could wear these to pickchildren up at school. And look
at that comfy sleep mask.
(09:47):
Anyhow, that is why you want togo check out that website. It's
amazing. And I'm bringingBethany back on because we have
more parenting quiz questions togo. Okay. So we did who needs
more sleep? Ah. When do mostbabies start sleeping through
the night? And they define thata six to eight hours of sleep?
(10:10):
Oh, that's a good one. What doyou guys think? Comment and tell
us when do you think most babiesthe average babies start
sleeping through the night?
Bethany (10:21):
Yeah, I'm thinking of my own kids. And they were of
course, so like, vastlydifferent. That is, like no real
barometer.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (10:27):
Jessica is saying four months, four
Bethany (10:30):
Four months? Ooh, good for you. Yeah, really? I was
gonna say like, more like eight,eight to 10.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (10:37):
Eight years? No. My daughter, she's
definitely eight,
Bethany (10:42):
right? Eight to 10 months. But it's not like for me
at least it wasn't likeconsistent. It was like eight to
10 maybe like four times a week.
I would get like, you know,through the night. Yeah. Yeah.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (10:56):
I was always surprised when I had my
first and they said six hourswas what they defined just
sleeping through the nightbecause I was like, that's not
enough sleep for me. No. Well,if the baby isn't sleeping the
whole way through what I need tosleep that's not through the
night. Suzanne Brooks setsprobably a year. Well, like I
said, in my own experience Ihave my youngest child still
(11:18):
does not sleep through thenight. Every single night she
wakes up, uses the bathroom andthen comes to find me. And the
last few nights it's been withthe Cozy Earth sheets and it's
making it harder for her not tosleep in my bed. I do have to
say
Bethany (11:32):
I will say my my seven year old is obsessed with him to
like, so there's this wholething with like, do people even
use like the top sheet anymore?
And admittedly like I don't, butI do with the Cozy Earth because
he's obsessed. It's like hisfavorite thing to just like
cuddle, cuddle it. So we dobreak out the Cozy Earth top
sheet.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (11:53):
It's great. Yeah, we should do a
whole live on that. Like there'sthere are people with very
strong opinions.
Bethany (11:58):
Sheets. My mother is so pro top sheet. She can't really
even fathom the idea that peoplearen't using it for her. It's
like it's like, she can't evenbelieve that
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:07):
mine too. She's like, it's I don't
use one either. It's like shethinks we're savages. Right?
Yeah, it's like, do you did Iraise you in a barn
Bethany (12:16):
like disgusting?
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:20):
Okay, let's see, I lost my train of
thought, again, because momsdon't get enough sleep. So this
was according to StanfordMedicine, children's health,
they said that the average babywill sleep through the night at
about three months old or untilor when they weigh about 12 to
13 pounds. Well, I knew my kidsweren't average, but
Bethany (12:41):
Right. And what about all do they want all that sleep
regression? Like, oh, come on. Idon't.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:47):
I mean, Stanford. I know. They're all
official, but I don't know.
Yeah.
Bethany (12:53):
I'm not buying now.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:54):
I'm not buying. I'm not buying it. I
believe what I want to believe.
Okay, so we're gonna, let's dooh, here's a good one. How many
hours of sleep? Do we think theaverage mom gets a night and the
average dad gets a night? Oh,pop your answer in the comments.
Bethany (13:14):
I'm so curious to see what other people say about
this. I'm very
Jennifer Weedon Palazz (13:17):
curious.
I'm always curious about otherpeople's sleep. Like, do I
sleep? Not enough too much areother people like me? You know,
it's
Bethany (13:26):
so yeah. And as some are sort of creeping up. I know.
I've been pushing the bedtimelater and later even though
they're still in school forlike, another couple of weeks.
But yeah, bedtime is getting upthere. And now that like it's
lighter outside,
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (13:37):
so I know. I know. Well, the Little
League is keeping us up tilllike, you know, we didn't get
home. So after eight o'clocklast night. Oh, my goodness. It
is crazy. Okay, I'm waiting tosee if anybody has any guesses
on this one. On the average,mom's night sleep and the
average is Dad's night. So let'ssay Suzanne has one she thinks
(14:02):
mom five to seven dad seven to10
Bethany (14:05):
Yeah, I was gonna say women six dads, probably that
solid eight.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (14:09):
Okay.
I'm gonna say in my family. I doyou have to admit, I get more
sleep than my husband. Because Ialways have felt that I need
more sleep for him. And I'mright. And he works weird hours.
So I don't know when in ourfamily. It's not that Okay, so
the actual answer is, you know,where did I put the actual
(14:32):
answer? Where is the actualanswer?
Bethany (14:37):
We could probably Google it real quick.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (14:41):
Oh my Lord. Well, I guess I lost the
answer. Because I've lost mymind. Because children and
sleeping but
Bethany (14:52):
we will look at that.
Let's go with what was itSuzanne? I liked
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (14:55):
her answer then. Okay. Um, let's
this is all about being live andbeing spontaneous. So how many
hours of sleep? Does the averagemom get?
Bethany (15:09):
God bless the internet, right?
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (15:12):
Okay, but we have to have a good
source Health Line says betweenfive and six hours of sleep.
Bethany (15:20):
All right, that's not.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (15:23):
Okay, I'm not even going to look for
the guys because it's obviouslymore than that.
Bethany (15:26):
It has to be right, someone's got to be sleeping in
your house.
Jennifer Weedon Palazz (15:29):
Somebody has to be sleeping. So if you go
over to cozyearth.com, and usethis discount code, you will get
a credit on something fabulous,like these very soft PJs, or
these very soft sheets. And I'llput that all like in the
description in the commentslater. So we have I think two
more questions, let's say, Well,we have Okay, we have three.
(15:51):
Okay. This is a good one.
Speaking of top sheets andfitted sheets, when do you think
fitted sheets were invented?
Bethany?
Bethany (16:00):
Oh my gosh, I never thought about something like
that. I just assumed they werealways around as long as we had.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (16:09):
Well, I guess you needed elastic. Right?
Bethany (16:12):
Right. All right. 1930 something I don't know.
Jennifer Weedon Palaz (16:17):
Something is a good good guess before
fitted sheets. You know, it wasjust sheets and just folded this
sheet over.
Bethany (16:26):
I didn't like check it in probably hotel style. I'm
thinking
Jennifer Weedon Palazz (16:30):
totally.
The answer is 1959 was when itwas 1959. They are pretty new.
Yeah. A child has entered theroom every one of you have
probably a poison ivy. Well,that's a problem. You went in
the woods. Oh my goodness. Thewhole internet. Oh, no. Okay,
(16:53):
well, let me finish this up. Andthen we'll take care of the
poison ivy. Okay. Living in thecountry. It's craziness.
Bethany (17:02):
But your child enter the room. My child has been here
the whole time. Versus beingquiet. That's amazing. Because
the TV on really low.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (17:11):
That's how we do it. That's how moms do
it. Okay, we have oh, one morequestion. Okay. Is, according to
this old house, which we allknow is a good source for
anything. How long do singlepeople and marry people go
before changing their sheets?
Bethany (17:32):
Oh, my goodness. I feel like I might have changed them
more when I was single. BecauseI had more time.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (17:39):
You have more time? Also? I don't
know. Depending if you thoughtmaybe you were having someone
over. If you wanted to impress.
You might change your sheetsmore often. Exactly.
Bethany (17:50):
And I mean, I know I'm not the only parent out there
who has definitely thrown atowel over to like a little bit
of puke or maybe a little pee.
Because you're so exhausted.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (18:01):
Just change. Right? Anybody got any?
Any? Let's see. Yeah, Suzannesaying she means like, wash
them? Yeah, we mean she'susually
Bethany (18:13):
clean on say, though dirty was off with a clean,
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (18:15):
clean sheets. Yeah, she's guessing
once a week. Okay. Now this oldhouse says that on average,
single people go 37 days No!Before changing their sheets.
No, it's in relationships tendto or No, married couples go
19.9 days. That's still a littletoo long. That's a little too
(18:38):
long, guys. Now, I'm not judginganybody. Because I probably have
done that. But I try not to.
Yeah,
Bethany (18:47):
I mean, the towel thing I mentioned was just like the
middle of the night and thenwhen I woke up the next day.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (18:54):
Leave it there. Right.
Bethany (18:57):
Right. Oh, I'm shocked about that. Actually.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (19:01):
You need who whoever this is. If
they have the cozy earth sheetsmaybe they would love it so much
because they're so soft and sowonderful that they would change
them more often to wash them andtake care of them.
Bethany (19:14):
Yes, I take really good care of mine actually. They say
no softeners nothing like that.
Like I really do take good careof mine.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (19:21):
what is the washing situation with these
sheets, Bethenny you must know.
Yeah,
Bethany (19:26):
for my ex because I was I love these sheets so much and
you know they're a bit of asplurge but well worth it I you
know, read the instructions andI'm pretty sure you can sort of
wash with like, you know, a gooddetergent or your normal
detergent, but no fabricsoftener and then just Tumble
dry low. That's what I do. Sothat they last a long time. And
they do and they're also and Idon't quote me on this, but I
(19:50):
feel like they get softer witheach wash. Like I think they
might be fabricated to do that.
Like the more you Yeah, the morethat you use them and wash them
they get softer. So I don't knowif that's like an official
feature of them but for methat's been definitely been the
case. They're incredible.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (20:06):
Yeah, they're they're super wonderful
and organic and all natural andall the good things you don't
have to worry and your childrenwill want to be in your bed even
Bethany (20:17):
I know it is past 8 and I get it like more than
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (20:23):

which I have right here. And I'mgoing to share something, share
(01:53):
something here. Were women of acertain age. I think mine is
like maybe older than yours. Butthere are certain age women of
my certain age tend to get verysweaty at night. It's
disgusting. I don't know why itjust isn't the thing. I it's
been so bad for so long. Andthen I got the Cozy Earth
(02:14):
sheets. I've been sleeping onthem for three nights. And I
have not woken up sweaty onetime in three nights.
me, they're really just like thesoftest sheets I've ever, ever
slept on. And wait don't youlove how they come in a little
tote bag isI have my tote bag to show
(02:37):
everybody. So I don't know if Ican get her own way. You know,
Unknown (02:42):
I love it. My mother wanted like she didn't she was
like, where did you get that? Iwas like, actually, that's what
my sheets came. And she likestole it for me. SO
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (02:51):
It's very cute. Yes, it's very, I had
to pocket I'm totally going touse this as like a tote bag
purse. Um, so basically, theywick moisture. They're super
luxurious and soft and wonderfulsheets. And they have all kinds
of loungewear and stuff. Andthey asked us to do this live
and to share with you. My couponcode, of course is MomCaveTV. I
(03:13):
believe that gives you $50 off,and somebody who buys from cozy
Earth tonight will win $200credit for being a mom caver. So
I will I'm going to flash up onscreen that info real quick. Go.
So I'll put all of that in thedescription and in the comments.
(03:38):
And then we're going to do ourquiz. So everybody, we want you
to jump in and participate inour quiz with us. Okay,
excellent. Make up this quiz.
And we're gonna see what we knowabout moms and sleep other than
we don't get enough. Okay. Um,kids, and that they don't sleep
(04:00):
enough. We know that. Soaccording to the American
Academy of Pediatrics, how manyhours of sleep do we think that
kids should get? And there's thetwo categories of like, school
aged kids six to 12 and teens.
13 to 18. So give me your guestsand Okay, comments how many
(04:23):
hours of sleep? Suzanne said 10.
Bethany (04:27):
I said I'm thinking and also this is so embarrassing,
because you know, I'm aparenting. I'm a mom of two
boys. I should be like, I shouldknow this. But like, I'm not
100% Sure I would. I think Imight guess 10 as well.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (04:40):
You guessed 10 Okay, um, for ages
six to 12 they recommend nine to12 hours.
Bethany (04:48):
I wish my kids slept 12 hours.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (04:51):
And teens, eight to 10 hours. All
right.
Bethany (04:56):
Yeah. They do a lot of that growing overnight right?
like they need that sleep.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (05:02):
The growing the brain developing all
of that overnight. And it's sofunny because my we were just
talking about this before wewent live, my kids are so
overscheduled right now. Butlike with the baseball and the
dance recitals in the afterschool that they're getting to
sleep later and later and I cantell they are grumpy.
Bethany (05:19):
But do you find like that they're worn out because my
kid is very active to my olderson, he does baseball, he does
all this, but he's still notable to like wind down. I'm
like, How much do I have to run?
You? Try to like, get go tosleep. But can you just imagine
for a second? Jen, if your kidsactually slept 12 hours
straight? Like,
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (05:41):
let's just be honest, that's half the
day. Um, we don't need 12 hoursof sleep. So that will give us
quite a few hours. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, I would like that verymuch. Well, my daughter is is
kind of like that. So I wonder.
My daughter never will say she'stired, never has in her life
said she's tired. Always hasmore energy than me. But she
(06:06):
basically like will just scream.
I'm not tired. I'm not going tobed until she does literally
pass out.
Bethany (06:13):
She just collapses.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (06:16):
So there's hope that at least the
kid will collapse? Okay. I'vegot this is my favorite question
of the evening. Okay, you guysweigh in? Who, according to
experts, needs more sleep, menor women? What do you all think
in the comments?
Bethany (06:36):
That's so funny. I mean, I don't know what the
experts say. But I can tell youwho gets more sleep in my house.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (06:45):
Right.
Yeah, I think that, whether it'sa biological thing, because you
know, we have to, like, growhumans. So there's that and
like, just having a body that'sready at any moment to grow
humans. And then it's donegrowing humans and then like,
recovering from that. All of allof the very productive stuff.
(07:05):
That's like, that's enough. Allof the hormones Suzanne Brooks
is saying women of course. Um,but I think that even if that
weren't a factor, and we'regoing to look at the answer in a
minute, I think just like thewhole, the carrying of all the
things the mental load, as theycall it, is gonna make us need
more sleep.
Bethany (07:26):
Absolutely. That is so exhausting, that that I would
definitely say I mean, I mean,for me, this is like a no
brainer. Like, I'm so curious.
If the answer is sort of like itopposite of what we're thinking,
I really want to know who theseexperts are.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (07:42):
Right they're fired. They're basically
fired from being sleep experts.
Okay, so this is according toresearchers at the Loughborough
University UK based sleepresearch center. And they found
that women do use their brainsmore than men. All right, that
that tracks, so much so thatthey do require more sleep.
Bethany (08:05):
All right, good job, guys, That was.
No, I can't. I can only see us.
Let me see.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (08:06):
Right here. It's in black and white
guys. So if you need me to sendthis with no annotations to your
significant other, right, I'm sohappy to do so. Okay, I just
wanted to quickly see if I couldshow you all some of my, my Cozy
New tab. Oh, maybe? I don'tknow. Oh, see? You see, this is
Earth things. Let's say, here'show I do that. Do you know I can
(08:31):
share a tab? It's like we're ona zoom. I love that. You guys
see? Okay, these are just someof the amazing things that they
have for women. And this is whatI want. Can you see it on your
screen? Bethany?
(09:00):
why women also need more sleepbecause we have our brains have
to do a lot of things right now.
There you go. My brain did thatthing. Okay, so I'm just gonna
hide Bethany for one second tomake this bigger. And you can
see this is the women's section.
They've got stuff for women,they've got stuff for men, they
have bedding, they have bath.
Everything is so incrediblysoft. And you can use my code
(09:24):
MomCaveTV to get your credit.
But wait, I want to just showeveryone very quickly. The
thing? Where did they go?
There's this lounge pants. Imean, look at these, like you
could wear these to pickchildren up at school. And look
at that comfy sleep mask.
(09:47):
Anyhow, that is why you want togo check out that website. It's
amazing. And I'm bringingBethany back on because we have
more parenting quiz questions togo. Okay. So we did who needs
more sleep? Ah. When do mostbabies start sleeping through
the night? And they define thata six to eight hours of sleep?
(10:10):
Oh, that's a good one. What doyou guys think? Comment and tell
us when do you think most babiesthe average babies start
sleeping through the night?
Bethany (10:21):
Yeah, I'm thinking of my own kids. And they were of
course, so like, vastlydifferent. That is, like no real
barometer.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (10:27):
Jessica is saying four months, four
Bethany (10:30):
Four months? Ooh, good for you. Yeah, really? I was
gonna say like, more like eight,eight to 10.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (10:37):
Eight years? No. My daughter, she's
definitely eight,
Bethany (10:42):
right? Eight to 10 months. But it's not like for me
at least it wasn't likeconsistent. It was like eight to
10 maybe like four times a week.
I would get like, you know,through the night. Yeah. Yeah.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (10:56):
I was always surprised when I had my
first and they said six hourswas what they defined just
sleeping through the nightbecause I was like, that's not
enough sleep for me. No. Well,if the baby isn't sleeping the
whole way through what I need tosleep that's not through the
night. Suzanne Brooks setsprobably a year. Well, like I
said, in my own experience Ihave my youngest child still
(11:18):
does not sleep through thenight. Every single night she
wakes up, uses the bathroom andthen comes to find me. And the
last few nights it's been withthe Cozy Earth sheets and it's
making it harder for her not tosleep in my bed. I do have to
say
Bethany (11:32):
I will say my my seven year old is obsessed with him to
like, so there's this wholething with like, do people even
use like the top sheet anymore?
And admittedly like I don't, butI do with the Cozy Earth because
he's obsessed. It's like hisfavorite thing to just like
cuddle, cuddle it. So we dobreak out the Cozy Earth top
sheet.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (11:53):
It's great. Yeah, we should do a
whole live on that. Like there'sthere are people with very
strong opinions.
Bethany (11:58):
Sheets. My mother is so pro top sheet. She can't really
even fathom the idea that peoplearen't using it for her. It's
like it's like, she can't evenbelieve that
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:07):
mine too. She's like, it's I don't
use one either. It's like shethinks we're savages. Right?
Yeah, it's like, do you did Iraise you in a barn
Bethany (12:16):
like disgusting?
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:20):
Okay, let's see, I lost my train of
thought, again, because momsdon't get enough sleep. So this
was according to StanfordMedicine, children's health,
they said that the average babywill sleep through the night at
about three months old or untilor when they weigh about 12 to
13 pounds. Well, I knew my kidsweren't average, but
Bethany (12:41):
Right. And what about all do they want all that sleep
regression? Like, oh, come on. Idon't.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:47):
I mean, Stanford. I know. They're all
official, but I don't know.
Yeah.
Bethany (12:53):
I'm not buying now.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (12:54):
I'm not buying. I'm not buying it. I
believe what I want to believe.
Okay, so we're gonna, let's dooh, here's a good one. How many
hours of sleep? Do we think theaverage mom gets a night and the
average dad gets a night? Oh,pop your answer in the comments.
Bethany (13:14):
I'm so curious to see what other people say about
this. I'm very
Jennifer Weedon Palazz (13:17):
curious.
I'm always curious about otherpeople's sleep. Like, do I
sleep? Not enough too much areother people like me? You know,
it's
Bethany (13:26):
so yeah. And as some are sort of creeping up. I know.
I've been pushing the bedtimelater and later even though
they're still in school forlike, another couple of weeks.
But yeah, bedtime is getting upthere. And now that like it's
lighter outside,
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (13:37):
so I know. I know. Well, the Little
League is keeping us up tilllike, you know, we didn't get
home. So after eight o'clocklast night. Oh, my goodness. It
is crazy. Okay, I'm waiting tosee if anybody has any guesses
on this one. On the average,mom's night sleep and the
average is Dad's night. So let'ssay Suzanne has one she thinks
(14:02):
mom five to seven dad seven to10
Bethany (14:05):
Yeah, I was gonna say women six dads, probably that
solid eight.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (14:09):
Okay.
I'm gonna say in my family. I doyou have to admit, I get more
sleep than my husband. Because Ialways have felt that I need
more sleep for him. And I'mright. And he works weird hours.
So I don't know when in ourfamily. It's not that Okay, so
the actual answer is, you know,where did I put the actual
(14:32):
answer? Where is the actualanswer?
Bethany (14:37):
We could probably Google it real quick.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (14:41):
Oh my Lord. Well, I guess I lost the
answer. Because I've lost mymind. Because children and
sleeping but
Bethany (14:52):
we will look at that.
Let's go with what was itSuzanne? I liked
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (14:55):
her answer then. Okay. Um, let's
this is all about being live andbeing spontaneous. So how many
hours of sleep? Does the averagemom get?
Bethany (15:09):
God bless the internet, right?
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (15:12):
Okay, but we have to have a good
source Health Line says betweenfive and six hours of sleep.
Bethany (15:20):
All right, that's not.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (15:23):
Okay, I'm not even going to look for
the guys because it's obviouslymore than that.
Bethany (15:26):
It has to be right, someone's got to be sleeping in
your house.
Jennifer Weedon Palazz (15:29):
Somebody has to be sleeping. So if you go
over to cozyearth.com, and usethis discount code, you will get
a credit on something fabulous,like these very soft PJs, or
these very soft sheets. And I'llput that all like in the
description in the commentslater. So we have I think two
more questions, let's say, Well,we have Okay, we have three.
(15:51):
Okay. This is a good one.
Speaking of top sheets andfitted sheets, when do you think
fitted sheets were invented?
Bethany?
Bethany (16:00):
Oh my gosh, I never thought about something like
that. I just assumed they werealways around as long as we had.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (16:09):
Well, I guess you needed elastic. Right?
Bethany (16:12):
Right. All right. 1930 something I don't know.
Jennifer Weedon Palaz (16:17):
Something is a good good guess before
fitted sheets. You know, it wasjust sheets and just folded this
sheet over.
Bethany (16:26):
I didn't like check it in probably hotel style. I'm
thinking
Jennifer Weedon Palazz (16:30):
totally.
The answer is 1959 was when itwas 1959. They are pretty new.
Yeah. A child has entered theroom every one of you have
probably a poison ivy. Well,that's a problem. You went in
the woods. Oh my goodness. Thewhole internet. Oh, no. Okay,
(16:53):
well, let me finish this up. Andthen we'll take care of the
poison ivy. Okay. Living in thecountry. It's craziness.
Bethany (17:02):
But your child enter the room. My child has been here
the whole time. Versus beingquiet. That's amazing. Because
the TV on really low.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (17:11):
That's how we do it. That's how moms do
it. Okay, we have oh, one morequestion. Okay. Is, according to
this old house, which we allknow is a good source for
anything. How long do singlepeople and marry people go
before changing their sheets?
Bethany (17:32):
Oh, my goodness. I feel like I might have changed them
more when I was single. BecauseI had more time.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (17:39):
You have more time? Also? I don't
know. Depending if you thoughtmaybe you were having someone
over. If you wanted to impress.
You might change your sheetsmore often. Exactly.
Bethany (17:50):
And I mean, I know I'm not the only parent out there
who has definitely thrown atowel over to like a little bit
of puke or maybe a little pee.
Because you're so exhausted.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (18:01):
Just change. Right? Anybody got any?
Any? Let's see. Yeah, Suzannesaying she means like, wash
them? Yeah, we mean she'susually
Bethany (18:13):
clean on say, though dirty was off with a clean,
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (18:15):
clean sheets. Yeah, she's guessing
once a week. Okay. Now this oldhouse says that on average,
single people go 37 days No!Before changing their sheets.
No, it's in relationships tendto or No, married couples go
19.9 days. That's still a littletoo long. That's a little too
(18:38):
long, guys. Now, I'm not judginganybody. Because I probably have
done that. But I try not to.
Yeah,
Bethany (18:47):
I mean, the towel thing I mentioned was just like the
middle of the night and thenwhen I woke up the next day.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (18:54):
Leave it there. Right.
Bethany (18:57):
Right. Oh, I'm shocked about that. Actually.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (19:01):
You need who whoever this is. If
they have the cozy earth sheetsmaybe they would love it so much
because they're so soft and sowonderful that they would change
them more often to wash them andtake care of them.
Bethany (19:14):
Yes, I take really good care of mine actually. They say
no softeners nothing like that.
Like I really do take good careof mine.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (19:21):
what is the washing situation with these
sheets, Bethenny you must know.
Yeah,
Bethany (19:26):
for my ex because I was I love these sheets so much and
you know they're a bit of asplurge but well worth it I you
know, read the instructions andI'm pretty sure you can sort of
wash with like, you know, a gooddetergent or your normal
detergent, but no fabricsoftener and then just Tumble
dry low. That's what I do. Sothat they last a long time. And
they do and they're also and Idon't quote me on this, but I
(19:50):
feel like they get softer witheach wash. Like I think they
might be fabricated to do that.
Like the more you Yeah, the morethat you use them and wash them
they get softer. So I don't knowif that's like an official
feature of them but for methat's been definitely been the
case. They're incredible.
Jennifer Weedon Palazzo (20:06):
Yeah, they're they're super wonderful
and organic and all natural andall the good things you don't
have to worry and your childrenwill want to be in your bed even
